Long Synopsis:

[inside front dust jacket flap:] "An all-new original mystery starring Adrian Monk, the brilliant investigator who always knows when something's out of place . . .
Adrian Monk is feeling strangely ... satisfied. His job as a police consultant is secure, and his wife's murder has finally been solved. He'd like his agoraphobic brother. Ambrose, to be able to feel the same way--and he sees his brother's upcoming birthday as a chance to make it happen.
So Monk puts a secret ingredient in Ambrose's birthday cake: sleeping pills. When Ambrose wakes up, he finds himself in a motor home on the open road ... with Monk as the tour guide and his long-suffering assistant, Natalie, as their chauffeur. Monk is determined to show his brother the outside world, even if Ambrose refuses to set foot beyond the RV.
But Ambrose isn't the only one struggling to let go. As little crimes pop up along the highway, Monk can't resist getting involved. Nor can he help sensing a pattern that reveals the hand of a serial killer at work. Now it's up to Monk to stop a murderer from turning their road trip into a highway to hell."
